(For all of the data, I’ve ranked each station by their share, defined as “the estimated total hours tuned to that station expressed as a percentage of total hours tuned to all radio”. These numbers include all listeners ages 12 and up, Monday to Sunday from 5:00am to 1:00am. (Full data is available here from BBM., and you can find previous charts on our blog under the keyword “radio“.)
